Interpreting Sig rules

[Aegis]

Nah, I saw the irony in it a mile away.

Though I do wonder who is up to the "AO Mod Team" posts... After all, it was you (or a group of people?) who once banned me... I am afraid that I have to kick your *** through the internet.

Squid, I don't know you but I am going to ask a favor. As long as this thread is alive I would like to keep it focused on the questions. Please don't give anyone a reason to lock it.

Thanks.

5 day ban for threatening the AO Moderation Team.

dude... it's Squid.

I usually DO post informative things... assuming it's a thread proposing a reasonable question/topic. Disagree? You don't read many of my posts.

I guess this just is not a reasonable topic....

Edit: That is either really funny or really cruel in this thread

Edit Edit: guess you weren't kidding.

5 day ban for threatening the AO Moderation Team.

I guess no one can see the humour in this? He was Kidding, people Wow, That was totally a threat. We all know how long Squid has been apart of AO, and we all know how he sticks out like a sore thumb. and Most of all, We're all aware of his sense of humour, as well.
Does he have to use a smile with everything he, or anyone posts?
It's amazing how lenient the Mods are with some, and Strict with others.
I hope you get the answer you're looking for, Aegis.
AO Moderation Team, this was in no way an insult, or directed as such, in anyway. So please, dont take it that way.

Warning: Posting in his behalf using PMs to coordinate is a form of ban circumvention.

Because he wasn't and also his original ban was a minor in the scale of offences (hence the 3 day ban not a 7 day). Echo actually broke his ban by a matter of hours not days, it entirely is possible that since he used his brothers account (he said this in the post he made) he may not have even realised his original ban was not served. Do not look for parallels between LPB and Echo as they are not there.

I think this falls within the context of the title of this thread. How can you say there are no parallels when they appear to be the same offenses?

Repeated sig rule violation: Why does one get 3 and the other get 7?
Ban Evasion: One gets 3 the other gets life?

You mention that one used a family members account to post and may have not realized it? That opens the door for people to have multiple accounts and use them as loopholes in the rules.

I believe the discrepancy in the interpretation of the rules is the problem people have with them. No one questions a permaban for spamming. They question when two members break the same basic rules, but the punishment is different.

If you think someone is behind this other than me, you would be wrong. I am just looking for the same answers Aegis is.

LPB's ban was a combonation of sig issues, and flaming another member.

His permban was also a result of creating a new account, and using that account to continue to flame that member.

The situations are similar, but are no means identical.

Why is it, that if two people are convicted in court of the same classification of crime - their penalties could be different? Is this good or bad?

[RobAGD]

You know whats almost funny, I was about to bring up to the other mods about letting LPB back, welp guess whats not going to happen now ?

You all need to let it go, if you dont like it go away. I am sick of the crying about this or that.

If LPB is brought up again to compare terms of punishments or to try and draw some tagent from his issue to someone elses it going to get that person a 30 day ban.

Any questions about that ?

Welcome back Rob. 3 Cheers for the old regime.

Well, we do have the three strike law. The outcome can be different for the same event, based on the history of the perpetrator.

In general, I think you would find that the crimes were fairly well defined and that the penalties, while different, followed established guidelines.

Do you feel that is the case here?


Edit - Gosh, didn't see that warning while preparing this. Does answering a Mod's question count?

Not comparing terms of punishment. Not drawing a tangent. Addressing your statement, and you, directly.

You now find yourself punishing someone for the actions of others. Unsolicited actions, by the way.
